Yuletide Greetings!
Welcome!
My name is Don, and I have been collecting Christmas items all my life. I inherited the Christmas collecting gene from my mother, who was and is a great holiday memorabilia collector. I grew up around all sorts of amazing holiday decorations, and I continue that tradition today in my home.
My collection contains a lot of different types of holiday memorabilia. It can be divided into a couple of different categories:
- Vintage (pre-1979) Christmas ornaments
- De Carlini, Laved, Shiny Brite
- Contemporary (1980-on) Christmas ornaments
- Radko, Breen, Cortina, Strand, Toole
- Nutcrackers (mostly contemporary)
- German smokers (vintage and newer)
- Decorative Objects, old and new, such as candle holders, dinnerware, figurines, stuffed animals
- Nativity Figures, including vintage Fontanini and ceramic nativity sets
- Santas, old and new
- The Williamsburg Village series, created by Lang & Wise for Colonial Williamsburg
